For several months, ever since the conclusion of Batman R.I.P. and Last Rites, DC fans have been dying to know when Grant Morrison would return to the helm of the Dark Knight franchise. During recent conventions, plans for books like Batman and Detective Comics were revealed, but specific news regarding Grant Morrison was kept in the dark. The blockbuster writer had explicitly said he'd be back - but on what title? With what artist? With what concept?

Now we know.

UPDATE: The IGN Comics crew tracked down Morrison to get first details on his plans for Batman & Robin. You can check that interview out by clicking here.

DC has announced that Grant Morrison will team with artist Frank Quitely on a new Batman series called "Batman & Robin". The title will start in June alongside the new directions for Detective Comics and Batman and series launches for Gotham City Sirens, Red Robin and Batman: Streets of Gotham.

Here is the first cover for Batman & Robin alongside the first interior art by Quitely. Be sure to check back for more details on this new series and its new direction.

Also be sure to tune in on Friday as IGN unveils its latest Batman video, this time walking through the concepts of seven of the major Batman titles coming this June. Included in the video will be art and covers for all titles, including new Quitely art for Batman & Robin!
